New JP Sauer 100 FE Exception 9.3x62 Mauser

I do not know why they keep using a 14.5 LOP when most Americans like a 13.5 LOP, but Germans do things different !

Because Americans have short arms?

That is a joke for the humour delete people.
I would prefer a longer LOP so it can be modified to suit me, easier to remove than add wood. Or it could just be that Germans do things different

Forgot to add the important bit, the rifle looks nice, I would probably prefer a darker colour timber, but that’s just me

This American prefers the 14.5” lop. The 13.5 puts my face too close to the rifle bolt when working the action. Most being the operative word but not all. Probably why I prefer the European guns such as the Mauser 98 and Mannlicher Schoenauer.
 
Did you end up receiving this gun?
It's on the way to my FFL. Already many other buyers posted it on their social media accounts last week. Also rifle has been listed on the exclusive distributor website and different social media outlets.

Very interested in this rifle. There is certainly a lot to like about it, but I have a small concern. According to the person I spoke with at Rivers and Glen (who were very nice and answered all my questions) the sling mount is permanently attached to the barrel band.

My concern is about the mount slapping against the barrel under recoil every time the rifle is fired without a sling. (similar to the issue of a free moving stacking swivel hitting the gas cylinder on an M1 Garand during recoil). And as the rifle uses a standard sling swivel stud mount on the stock, I just do not see any advantage to this set up, and I see several potential negatives (like also making the sling more difficult to take on and off quickly versus just using two sling studs)

Can anyone share any insight on this? Am I missing something?
Thanks.
I got the rifle. Sling mount can be removed from the barrel band. It comes with a flush screw. I did remove it and put I back easy. rifle come with 2 more sling mounts for a total of 3 pieces with the same flush screw system.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
